Today, FTL
May. 1st, 2008 12:14 pmI haven't been feeling well this week. It started Sunday, after liming the lawn, with chest tightness and a sore throat, which I assumed was from liming the lawn without a mask like a dumbass. I worked Monday, but felt pretty lousy in time by the time we were ready to go see Eddie Izzard. Tuesday, my throat still hurt and I was coughing, so I stayed home. I finally felt a little better yesterday, so I figured I'd go in today. Of course I felt terrible this morning, still coughing, still sore throated, but I figured it would get better. Nope. I told Boss Lady I was going to need to go home, but I would cover a couple periods for her if possible. Then I rang for a doctor's appointment. Only one they had was 10:15. Grrrreat. Back to see Boss Lady to let her know that I was going to shuffle things and make sure the periods I needed were covered and then I needed to leave.
I kind of though I had strep because of the really sore throat, swollen glands, fever, etc. I went in, had the happy strep test, impressed the nurse with my lack of gag reflex, and waited. Nope, not strep. Ok, next step is listening to my lungs and he gets that A-HA! look which makes me a cranky badger.
Doctor: Sounds like you have some congestion in your lungs.
Me: Ooook?
Doctor: Looks like it might be the beginnings of pneumonia. Good thing you came in.
Me: OMG!WTF PNEUMONIA IT'S MAY!
And better still, IT'S VIRAL. I left with scripts for an inhaler, prednisone, and cough syrup to keep my lungs in my chest. So much win, I don't know where to go from here.
On the other hand, Eddie Izzard was great. The Orpheum, not so much, but he was on stage for a couple hours. I did not realize this was the first stop of the tour, either. Some of Steven's co-workers were going to see him later in the week, so he was going to compare notes. I love![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
papayarain forever for letting me know about the tour. It was so awesome! Best line of the night: badgers CAN be choosers, which is my new flist headline.
Still working on the photos from last week, but soon, I hope.
